Default Things to Check for When Picking Up New S?

OK, assuming I get my new S soon, what things should I look out for?...

From lurking I can think of four...

1) Removal of Shipping spacers in springs
2) Inclusion of Tonneau cover
3) Inclusion of Floormats
4) Misalignment of rear passenger side panel near tail light

Anything else?

5) Three keys and two remotes
6) Full tank of Premium gas
7) 32 psi (all 4 tires)
8) Sleeping pills for the night you'll pick up your S

9) Service Manual
10) Radio Code
11) Check the front for all rock chips (if used)
12) Check the seats to make sure they are in good condition (if used)
13) No holes in the top (if used)
14) CCTV camera and vcr to record your S at night while sleeping. That way if someone messes with it you have evidence. (Yes I am serious. I have one myself) hahahaha

Do the tonneau covers come with all S2000s when they are new? I ask because I am looking at used cars and most dont seem to have the tonneau in the trunk.

Sorry for the thread hijack but it didnt seem worth a new thread just for such a question...
